The original observation (see the first line quoted aove) was "I notice the
routing buttons above the braille cells don't work.". The BRLTTY Gnopernicus
driver indeed maps cursor routing keys to HMSnn, which, I believe, is correct. 
The actual problem may be user misunderstanding. I beleive those keys only work
for widgets where the cursor can be moved, e.g. a text entry dialog, but it may
be that the user is assuming that they should work in all contexts.
